How interesting. The Japanese culture values beauty very highly. My late dear sister in law was Japanese and she just HAD to have flowers in the bathroom. I am no gardener and she was known to clip a few of my neighbors' flowers to create a lovely arrangement for the bathroom while visiting me. I always appreciated her efforts.
